Koi Faryad Ghazal English Translation

 

koi fariyaad tere dil mein dabi ho jaise
tune aankhon se koi baat kahi ho jaise

As if some plea is concealed in heart

As if with your eyes you conveyed some talk!

 

jaagte jaagte ek umr kaTi ho jaise
jaan baaki hai magar saans ruki ho jaise

 

As if a lifetime was spent being awake

As if life remains, while breath is no more!

har mulaakat pe mehsoos yehi hota hai
mujhse kuchh teri nazar poochh rahi ho jaise

Every time we meet, I get this feeling

As if your eyes are asking me something!

raah chalte hue aksar yeh Gumaan hota hai
wo nazar chhup ke mujhe dekh rahi ho jaise

Often while walking down the road, I feel

As if your eyes are secretly watching me!

ek lamhe mein simaT aaya hai sadiyon ka safar
zindagi tez, bahut tez, chali ho jaise

A long journey has shrinked in one moment

As if life has moved fast, very fast!

is tarah pehron tujhe sochta rehta hoon main
meri har saans tere naam likhi ho jaise

Each part of day I keep thinking about you
as if my every breath was written for you!

 

Lyrics:- Faiz Anwar

kabi Arsh par, kabi farsh par

  Kabhi Ruk gaye! Kabhi Chal diye! Kabhi Chalty Chalty Bhatak gaye, Sometimes I stopped, sometimes I moved Sometimes I lost track of my way   Yunhi Umar Saari Guzaar di, Yunhi Zindagi kay Sitam Sahy... This way I spent my share of life And bore all miseries of life   Kabhi Neend main, Kabhi Hosh main, tu Jahan Mila, Tujhay Dekh kar... sometimes in sleep, sometimes while awake wherever you met, after seeing you   Na Nazar Mili, Na Zuban Hili, Yunhi Sir Jhukka kay Guzar Gaye... Neither our eyes met nor we spoke This way we met and walked away     Kabhi Zulf par, Kabhi Chasham Par, Kabhi Tere haseen Wajood par, Sometimes on your hair locks, sometimes on your eyes Sometimes at your beautiful existence   Jo Pasand thy Meri Zaat main, 'Wo Shair Saary Bikhar Gaye... All that was dear to my soul Those verse have been lost   Mujhay yaad hai Kabhi Ek thy Hum, Magar Aaj hum hain Juda Juda... I...

Dono jahaan teri muhabbat main haar ke By Faiz Ahmad Faiz English Translation

  Dono jahaan teri muhabbat main haar ke Voh jaa rahaa hai koi shab-e-gam guzaar ke Having lost both the worlds in your love He is leaving after long night of grief   Veeran hai maykada, khum-o-saagar udaas hai Tum kyaa gaye ke rooth gaye din bahaar ke Kiosk is barren, every vessel is distressed Each day of spring is gone with you   Ek fursat-e-gunaah mili, woh bhi chaar din Dekhe hain hum ne hausle parwardigaar ke A short life of few moments we got I have seen his (God’s) generosity!   Duniya ne teri yaad se begaana kar diyaa Tujshe bhi dil-fareb hai, gam rozgaar ke Worldly affairs took me far from your remembrance Pangs of livelihood made this heart forget you   Bhoole se muskara to diye the voh aaj “faiz” Mat poocho valvale dil-e-nakardaa kaar ke By chance he smiled today oh Faiz! Don’t ask me of tumult it sent in my heart!
